摘要

Since 2008, with the launch of the Mauritian Archaeology and Cultural Heritage (MACH) project, Mauritius became the subject of a systematic program of archaeological research that has helped to shape important new, and still developing, insights on the island’s past. This Special Issue of the International Journal of Historical Archaeology on Mauritius brings together colleagues who work as part of the MACH project, with other archaeological, historical, and heritage specialists, to focus on the environmental context of this distinctive Small Island Developing State (SIDS) nation. While authors bring their own disciplinary expertise, they are all universally and deeply cognizant of the strengths that lie in other fields of enquiry for research on environmental change, and longer-term implications for the contemporary population. Unsurprisingly, “island” and “environmental” archaeologies motive this special issue. In addition to these two main drivers are tangible historical links to colonialism and the legacies thereof.
